The Magpies ended the game with just ten men as Fabian Schar, Javier Manquillo, Jetro Willems and Jonjo Shelvey all went off in 10 mad minutes either side of half-time. But how did the players rate in the loss? Our Newcastle United writer Liam Kennedy has dished out his marks...

1. Martin Dubravka - 7

One outstanding stop from De Bruyne, but could little about either goal, particularly De Bruyne's strike.

2. Federico Fernandez - 8

Another solid game from the Argentine after a shaky Monday night show. Some excellent defensive work.

3. Ciaran Clark - 7

Plenty of blocks and interceptions - just a typical Clark performance really.
